Simulink Support Package for Arduino Mega 2560 Hardware (R2012a)

Simulink block library for creating standalone applications for the Arduino® Mega 2560 platform

Description

Arduino (www.arduino.cc) is a low-cost open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.

With R2012a, Simulink provides built-in support for prototyping, testing, and running models on Arduino Mega 2560. You can design algorithms in Simulink for control systems and robotics applications, and see them perform with hardware.

To install support for Arduino Mega 2560, type "targetinstaller" in the MATLAB Command Window.

In the Target Installer that opens, do one of the following:
• If you have not downloaded the support package, choose "Internet". Target Installer automatically downloads a support package and installs it.
• If you have already downloaded the support package, choose "Folder". Then specify the location of this support package. Target Installer installs this support package.

Simulink support for Arduino® Mega 2560 includes the following driver blocks:
• Digital Input and Output
• Analog Input and Output
• Serial Receive and Transmit
• Servo Read and Write

---------------------
This FileExchange entry is for R2012a support.

---------------------

• Required Products: Simulink; MATLAB
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.14 (R2012a)
• Other requirements: Simulink Support for the Arduino Mega requires a Microsoft Windows platform.

Hello!
I'm trying to run the model in external mode on an Arduino Mega 2560 R3. After downloading the compiled model the connection to the target fails (the external mode check box is set): After pressing the Connect to Target Button Simulink crashes. I'm running the 2012b Matlab on a Win7-64bit machine.

What is the difference between this package and "Embedded Coder Support Package for Arduino" (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/30277).

This just appears to have the 'streamlined' installation of targetinstaller.

@Heilko and @Ravikanth - please note previous post about where to ask technical questions on this. That is the best option for getting answers quickly...

@Heilko - difficult to tell from only this info.. I suggest to post again on Ansers or contact Technical Support. My guess is you picked the 'folder' option, but that wasn't where you downloaded the File Exchange entry... or you unzipped it already... no need to download it from here first... just run targetinstaller and follow the 'internet' option.

@Ravikanth - We expect that all revs of the 2560 are supported. If you have any issues, please contact Technical Support.

Thanks for the interest and have fun using the new capability!

Can anyone please help me whether matlab and simulink supports Arduino Mega 2560 R3.....because this is R3 board... so just to make sure whether it supports or not?

Thanks,
Ravi

.../arduinouno does not contain a valid support package.
Please specify a folder that contains a valid support package and try again.

What is wrong? Can you help me ?

Thanks,

Also, does this release have support for access to more (or all) input/output capabilities of the mega board?

[Nils]

And what is released separately in this case? What can be downloaded here isn't entirely compatible with r2011b, I take it...?
